The Palms Sanctuary | Contemporary Coastal Estate in Playa Avellanas

The Palms Sanctuary is a newly completed contemporary residence in Playa Avellanas, Guanacaste, bringing together modern architecture, natural materials, and a relaxed approach to coastal living. Completed in 2026, the home offers approximately 315 m² of construction on a generous 1,057.57 m² lot, with three private bedroom suites, a central swimming pool, and thoughtfully connected indoor and outdoor living spaces. Its clean architectural lines, warm wood finishes, and open layout establish a comfortable, understated atmosphere that feels particularly suited to its tropical surroundings on the northern pacific coast of Costa Rica.

The interior is defined by high ceilings, exposed natural wood beams, and expansive windows that bring daylight into the main living areas. An open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, allowing each area to feel distinct while maintaining a natural sense of continuity. The combination of contemporary finishes and organic textures gives the home character without compromising its clean, modern aesthetic.

At the center of the living space, the kitchen’s custom teak cabinetry introduces warmth against quartz countertops, while a substantial center island provides additional preparation space and a natural gathering point. High end appliances complete the kitchen, which opens directly to the dining and living areas, making the layout equally comfortable for daily routines and entertaining.

The residence includes three spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, creating a sense of independence and privacy throughout the home. An additional guest bathroom and dedicated laundry room complement the floor plan. Multi zone air conditioning provides individualized comfort, while an integrated alarm system and gated driveway add practical considerations for both full time and seasonal ownership.

Outdoor living is an essential part of the property's design. The residence wraps around a central swimming pool, with covered terraces and a generous poolside social area extending the living spaces outdoors. Natural stone accents, tropical landscaping, and the home's surrounding greenery soften the architecture, creating an inviting environment for spending time outside. The relationship between the pool, covered terrace, and interior gathering areas gives the property a cohesive feel, whether hosting guests or enjoying a quieter day at home.

Beyond the main residence, the substantial lot provides meaningful flexibility for future use. Space has been designated to accommodate a secondary guest casita, with additional possibilities for a yoga pavilion or other outdoor amenities. This capacity for expansion allows an owner to adapt the property over time, whether creating additional accommodations for visiting family, a separate workspace, or a potential rental unit, subject to the necessary approvals.

Located in Playa Avellanas, The Palms Sanctuary places owners close to the area's established surf and dining scene, including Lola's, Il Rustico, La Cabane, and Manta. Hacienda Pinilla, with its golf course and recreational club, is just minutes away, while Tamarindo is approximately 25 minutes from the property. The location combines the atmosphere of a smaller coastal community with convenient access to a broader selection of activities and services.

With its contemporary design, private pool, three ensuite bedrooms, and room for future expansion, The Palms Sanctuary offers a thoughtfully designed coastal residence in Playa Avellanas, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
